Events from a real device can be proxied for development by using the PROXY_TARGET environment variable.

PROXY_TARGET=http://nodemcu.local npm run build
# and/or
PROXY_TARGET=http://nodemcu.local npm run serve

Alternatively, update this line in packages/[version]/vite.config.ts to point to your real device.

const proxy_target = process.env.PROXY_TARGET || "http://nodemcu.local";

The json api will POST to the real device and the events are proxied

cd packages/v2
npm run build

The build files are copied to _static/v2 usually for deployment to https://oi.esphome.io/v2 or your /local/www Home Assistant folder

web_server:
  port: 80
  version: 2
  js_url: http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/_static/v2/www.js

To use a specific version of a CDN hosted device dashboard, you can use the following override as an example:
